Quick Overview

The R&B Medium Forestry Hose Pack enables a single firefighter to transport and deploy 200 feet of 1-inch forestry hose for progressive hoselays in rugged wildland environments. By utilizing a hands-free backpack design with a rear deployment flap, it mitigates the risks of manually carrying loose rolls while freeing the operator's hands for essential hand tools like a Pulaski.

Field Application Steps

Inspect the pack and ensure the removable internal divider is secured before loading two separate 100-foot rolls of 1-inch forestry hose into the dual compartments.
Connect the male coupling of the first hose to the female coupling of the second hose to create a continuous 200-foot lay, leaving the final male coupling at the top for immediate access.
Don the padded shoulder straps, adjust for a snug fit high on the back, and advance to the deployment point while keeping your hands free for tools and balance.
Open the top flap, retrieve the male coupling, and connect it securely to the water source or wye valve.
Open the rear deployment flap and walk deliberately toward your objective at a steady pace, allowing the hose to feed directly and smoothly from the pack without snagging.
